Description: Akpatok Island lies in Ungava
Bay in northern Quebec, Canada. Accessible only by air,
Akpatok Island rises out of the water as sheer cliffs that
soar 500 to 800 feet (150 to 243km) above the sea surface. The
island is an important sanctuary for cliff-nesting seabirds.
Numerous ice floes around the island attract walrus and
whales, making Akpatok a traditional hunting ground for native
Inuit people.
